I love your perspective. Just today I was talking about you to my Mom and said that it seems like you truly have Joy in life and in your family. Keep it up it's an encouragement to me!

I just had a hankering to check, and look at the gem waiting for me :-D!!<BR/><BR/>Oh yea, I'm one of those who hung on. Great words. I am so encouraged and your thoughts bring confirmation to much of what has been working through my mind, as of late... as of my oldest is in 1st grade and 'we better get serious incase some one decided to check and see if we are "doing school"' enough hours or every day. There are disciplines and routines that I am still intent on establishing more consistently than I have, but to your point... just because school has traditionally been conducted one way, does not mean it must always be that way. And what a joy we get from going through the process and learning with them. And the joy of creating learners, not just students.<BR/><BR/>aaaaahh...

I'm just beginning to dive into homeschooling my kids (okay, well I've already begun a long time ago but more formally in the coming months, a few months after this baby decides to make his debut). Funny thing, Aidan has already informed me that he is an "expert" on a few things. But worry not, I gently let him know that he is not yet an "expert" on much of anything :) Thanks for the encouraging words, you're a great teacher! I would love to get together with you and pick your brain about homeschooling. You know, come to think of it, I think we need to have a mom's of homeschoolers get together so those of us who are just getting started can get some tips from those of you who've already been doing it for a few years. What do you think?Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463596622437274940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208851377577759872.post-31652438756725843962008-10-20T20:54:00.000-07:002008-10-20T20:54:00.000-07:00Liz, have you read Teaching the Trivium yet?

I don't know if you read my blog, but I wrote recently about how we are just starting homeschooling and so far we are REALLY enjoying it! Because I have so many that are so young I went with a company called Sonlight as they had everything prepared for me...just what I needed! The kids are loving the books (although we haven't got to them today...guests over! One of the perks of homeschooling right!?! =)!) and already I am enjoying growing in this with them.<BR/>Do you use many different forms of homeschooling or just one?<BR/>Thanks for putting up such a great post on it! <BR/>Pray for us as we continue on this adventure!<BR/>Keep having fun!!<BR/>tarenaOur growing familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904231434767296992noreply@blogger.com
